Who is my Coach?: A Rhyming Children's Book About Coaches, Teamwork, and Everyday Heroes

Coaches do so much more than run practice…

They cheer us on, remind us to try again, and show us that teamwork and kindness matter as much as winning the game. From basketball courts to playground fields, coaches are everyday heroes who teach kids lessons that last a lifetime.

In this heartwarming rhyming picture book, children will discover that coaches:

✅ Start the day early, planning warm-ups and drills
✅ Encourage players to keep trying and never give up
✅ Teach fairness, sportsmanship, and respect for teammates
✅ Celebrate effort over winning and learning from mistakes
✅ Promote healthy habits like stretching, good food, and water
✅ Notice feelings — helping shy or worried kids feel brave
✅ Share lessons beyond sports about courage, kindness, and growth
✅ Are real people who once practiced, struggled, and learned too

✨ Who Is My Coach? is part of the “Who Is My…?” series, which celebrates the everyday heroes in a child’s life — from teachers and principals to bus drivers, librarians, firefighters, and more.

Whether read at home, in the classroom, or as part of a sports team, this book helps kids understand that coaches aren’t just about games — they’re mentors, role models, and friends.
